What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lislary is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lislary, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies wet, lowlying pasture as a large raised circular area measuring 48.20m across. An earth and stone bank encloses the centre, though gaps punctuate the structure and field boundaries now cover parts of the outer face. A possible ditch remains at the southern foot, but the original entrance is no longer recognisable.
